Definitely an act of solidarity and in no way was it an attempt to provoke the opposition.

What a tit Plus loads of reserved seats aren't taken up anyway on most journeys. Quality response from Virgin.

Aye, international football is where a manager with no plan B would get found out you would think.

It's 1930s-ish. I loved the old film version of it with Ronald Fraser as Uncle Jim when I was a kid.

I know, Dad joke.

They come out just after Ant's

The north and the south?

Oyez take heed

Wondered if you'd picked up on the reference (Steppenwolf). Edit: for Seamus

The abuse only works in league games and even then it must be used wisely

Good news. I was pissed off when he left because, amongst other reasons, it seemed to just be letting all that experience gained playing go to waste.

Classic holiday reading

I'm about 100 pages into Wolf Hall. Been meaning to read it for ages as I got it as a Christmas present a few years ago when it won the Booker. Can't help but think of Mark Rylance as Cromwell.
